Easy Target - Blink 182

Tabbed by: Zamboni

Tuning: Standard Concert Pitch (EADGBe)
I'm pretty sure this is 100% accurate. Please feel free to leave comments
or email me about how this tab can be better.
When playing the song, you will notice if you listen carefully, that the F# power
chord and the E power chord do not have the third string resonating while the
A power chord does. This is just a little thing that I noticed that may help you
sound more exact when playing this song.

(You could possibly play the muted A power chord in the zero fret position, but
playing it in position five allows for a faster change between the C# and the A)

(In this case, conversely, you could play the A power chord in the fifth position
versus the zero position, but upon inspection of the song, you can tell that the
third note of the chord is played on the G string rather than up on the D string.
Where the high D string note would have a thicker sound, playing it on the second
fret of the G string gets you that "cutting" tone you hear in the recording.)

Keep repeating the outro each time getting slower than the previous.
This outro is the basis for the intro of "All Of This" also by Blink-182.
